Douluo: Selling Ning Rongrong Mission Card, She Dropped Out Chapter 20

"So much delicious food, I really want to eat it!"

"Look at the uniforms on those servers; they must be from the Water Cloud Pavilion. That place is the most famous restaurant in all of Soto City!"

"So it's food from the Water Cloud Pavilion! No wonder it smells so fragrant; my stomach is growling with hunger!"

"It's true. The prices at Water Cloud Pavilion are so high that ordinary people like us can't afford to eat there. I'm so envious!"

"..."

The bystanders nearby were filled with intense envy toward Boss Li.

Because Boss Li not only had gourmet food to enjoy, but more importantly, these delicacies had been carefully selected and delivered by two beauties, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

"Come on, bring it in!" Ning Rongrong commanded with her hands on her hips, "Take all this food inside the shop."

Hearing the commotion, Li Haiyun knew that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had returned.

Having rested enough, he walked over with great interest and greeted them, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, you're back!"

"That's right! Boss Li, we brought back so many delicious things!" Ning Rongrong said with a proud, childlike air.

Li Haiyun nodded and replied gently, "I see them. They smell wonderful; I could smell them from far away!"

Ning Rongrong then asked, "Boss Li, should we eat in the shop, or move to the back hall?"

"How could we eat in the shop? The back hall, of course!" Li Haiyun replied with a serious expression as he stepped forward to lead the way.

Zhu Zhuqing was going to feed him personally; there was no way Li Haiyun would be so tactless as to set the dining location in the shop.

The back hall it was!

Immediately, Li Haiyun led the way, bringing Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the servers from the Water Cloud Pavilion to the hall behind the shop.

After the food was laid out to fill the entire table, the Water Cloud Pavilion servers took their leave.

Li Haiyun then walked to the front of the shop and said to the bystanders, "Dear customers, my apologies!"

"It is lunchtime now, so the shop is temporarily closed. Everyone, please disperse and go get something to eat!"

"I will reopen this afternoon, so it won't be too late to come back then!"

Li Haiyun's voice was gentle and polite.

The bystanders bid him farewell one after another before dispersing.

Li Haiyun then closed the shop and headed to the back hall, his heart filled with excitement.

The table was covered in delicious food, steaming with an aroma that made one's mouth water and an urge to dig in immediately.

"Boss Li, come and eat!" Ning Rongrong called out.

"Boss Li, come on over!" Zhu Zhuqing added from the side in a soft voice.

"Coming, coming!" Li Haiyun said, his face beaming with a happy smile.

There was a dazzling array of food on the table.

Roasted beef, stir-fried pork with annual greens, century-old braised duck, spicy chicken heads, Minced Meat Ginseng Soup, Lotus Leaf Shrimp porridge, carp with tofu, juicy crispy turtle, braised pearls on a golden platter, bird's nest with jade, chilled watermelon, and more.

The table was packed with hearty dishes that looked incredibly appetizing.

The meat dishes, in particular, looked exceptionally tender and delicious!

"Zhuqing, Rongrong, you've worked hard. Thank you so much!" Li Haiyun said politely before they began.

"Boss Li, why are you thanking us?" Ning Rongrong said bluntly, "You gave us the Mission Cards and helped us become stronger. We should be the ones thanking you!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded from the side, chiming in, "Rongrong is right. We should be the ones thanking you, Boss Li. This table of food is just a small token of our gratitude!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Haiyun said, repeating the word three times with a broad smile.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ning Rongrong got to the point. "Boss Li, don't eat yet. Let Zhuqing feed you... this is her mission! You just need to open your mouth, that's all!"

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing with an encouraging gaze and said, "Zhuqing, go for it!"

"Mm." Zhu Zhuqing nodded at Ning Rongrong.

Then, with blushing cheeks, she looked at Li Haiyun and said softly, "Boss Li, please let me feed you. On one hand, it is to complete the mission, and on the other, it is to repay your kindness. Please, do not refuse."

Only a foolish, dense man would turn down such a good thing...

Li Haiyun, a man of great understanding, nodded heavily and said gently, "In that case, I shall accept your kindness. Zhuqing, you needn't feel burdened; I will cooperate with you as well!"

"Yes, Boss Li. I understand," Zhuqing replied with a slight nod.

Just then.

Ning Rongrong, standing to the side with an eager expression, spoke up, "How about this, Boss Li? Let me and Zhuqing feed you together...!"

The reason Ning Rongrong proposed such an idea was primarily to help her good friend Zhuqing alleviate her embarrassment.

Besides, there were three people here.

If Zhuqing were to feed Boss Li while she stood by with nothing to do, it would be rather boring.

Li Haiyun was stunned upon hearing this, momentarily doubting if he had misheard.

Ning Rongrong had not received a Mission Card to feed him lunch.

Yet, she actually wanted to feed him too?!

This was something Li Haiyun truly had not expected.

Zhuqing, standing beside them, was also stunned; she had not expected her good friend Ning Rongrong to make such a request.

Could it be that Rongrong has taken a liking to Boss Li?

Such a thought even crossed Zhuqing's mind.

Seeing the surprised expressions on both Boss Li and Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong gave a light cough and said with a very serious face, "What's wrong! It's not like I can just stand by and watch while Zhuqing feeds Boss Li, can I?"

"We will feed Boss Li lunch together!"

"That way, the blessing you receive, Boss Li, will be doubled, won't it?"

Double the blessing?

Li Haiyun's eyes lit up at these words.

He truly hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to be so good to him, willing to let him experience the feeling of double the joy.

Zhuqing nodded after hearing this and said, "I don't have any objections! It's just... Boss Li, are you willing?"

Ning Rongrong licked her lips and said with a smile, "Boss Li, if you were to refuse such a good thing, I'm afraid you wouldn't be much of a man!"

As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest.

One had to remember, she was the apple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's eye.

With such a noble status, lowering herself to feed him lunch—in Ning Rongrong's mind, no man would refuse such a treat.

Li Haiyun gave a dry cough and said earnestly, "I am a decent man..., but Rongrong, you are right. If I were to refuse even this, I truly wouldn't be a man...!"

Ning Rongrong beamed and said, "Exactly, exactly! Boss Li, you are absolutely right!!"

"Then let us sisters, Zhuqing and I, feed you lunch together and complete this mission."

"When the time comes, Boss Li, remember to give us the 'best' rating, okay!"

Li Haiyun felt surprised by Ning Rongrong's actions.

But upon closer reflection, it was within reason.

After all, he sold her the Mission Card and helped her become stronger!

Moreover, with her good friend Zhuqing feeding him to complete a mission, she might feel a bit unbalanced and want to join in.

For her, there was no loss in this.

Feeding someone wasn't exactly a disgraceful act.

Heaven knows, earth knows, and the three of them know!

Plus, Li Haiyun gave off a refined and easygoing vibe; he wasn't the type of gossiping busybody who would go around spreading rumors.

Thus, Ning Rongrong didn't have many concerns.

Li Haiyun recalled how in the original story, Ning Rongrong had once said things like "I have bread," and he felt at ease with the little witch's behavior.

He was the one enjoying the blessing, so why fuss over the details!

"Very well, as for the rating, I will provide my comments based on your excellent performance. Now, I shall trouble both Rongrong and Zhuqing!"

Li Haiyun revealed a gentle smile.

"Then we're starting!"

Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong said in unison.

Immediately, Zhuqing picked up her chopsticks, plucked a piece of roasted lamb, and said, "This roasted lamb is the signature dish of Water Cloud Pavilion. Please, have a taste!"

Li Haiyun opened his mouth and took a bite. It tasted excellent, and he praised, "The meat is tender and delicious."

Just then.

Beside him, Ning Rongrong scooped up a spoonful of Minced Meat Ginseng Soup and said gently, "Boss Li Haiyun, come now~ have a sip of soup~"

Ning Rongrong's voice was so soft that it made one's bones feel like they were melting.

Is this the kind of pleasure King Zhou could only experience when being served by Daji?!

Li Haiyun felt invigorated. He lightly touched his lips to the soup before pulling back, saying with a dead-serious expression, "This soup... it's a bit hot!"

Ning Rongrong was taken aback by his words.

Then, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face as she brought the spoon to her lips and blew on it gently, dispersing the steam.

Feeling it was just right, she brought the Minced Meat Ginseng Soup to Li Haiyun's lips once more.

Oh my, Rongrong really knows how to take care of people! Li Haiyun was thoroughly impressed.

At the same time, he hurriedly took a sip of the ginseng soup and said politely, "Thank you."

No sooner had he finished the soup than Zhu Zhuqing began a new round of feeding, picking up a piece of Lotus Leaf Shrimp and gently offering it to him.

Li Haiyun felt incredibly happy.

Right now, he was essentially living a life where he didn't have to lift a finger, enjoying the luxury of being fed with every meal.

The entire room was filled with the fragrance of the food.

Meanwhile, as the two sisters, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, fed him from such close proximity, Li Haiyun could catch the faint, delicate scent wafting from them—a warm, pleasant fragrance that smelled wonderful.

Time slipped away bit by bit.

Very quickly.
